FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between a spinning reel and a baitcasting reel?
Spinning reels are easier to use and great for beginners. Baitcasters offer more control and power for experienced anglers but have a steeper learning curve.
How do I choose the right gear ratio?
A lower gear ratio (e.g. 5.2:1) gives more power for reeling in big fish, while a higher ratio (e.g. 7.0:1) retrieves faster for quick-action techniques.
What does “drag” mean on a reel?
Drag is the amount of resistance a fish feels when it pulls on the line. A good drag system helps tire out the fish without breaking your line.
Can I use the same reel for both freshwater and saltwater fishing?
Some reels can handle both, but saltwater can cause corrosion. Always rinse your reel with fresh water after saltwater use, and choose models with sealed bearings and corrosion-resistant materials.
What is the line capacity, and why does it matter?
Line capacity refers to how much fishing line your reel can hold, based on line thickness. It matters when targeting species that make long runs or when trolling.
How do I match a reel to my fishing rod?
Choose a reel that balances well with your rod's size and power rating. For example, a 5000-size reel pairs best with a medium-heavy or heavy rod.
